Not surprising that Ret heads back to Europe, he just seems to play SO MUCH better when he's in a comfertable environment, and clearly GSL wasn't the place for him. He'll do awesome in the upcoming tournaments!

Based on this draw, who do you hope to face in the rounds to come?
Tyler: Fruitdealer, MC, MVP, Nestea.

Lol, what a fucking hero, for the glory.

I can only imagine how mentally draining competing for a place in code S must be. One chance per month and if you fail you get a couple of weeks to think about it (and an entire community reminding you of the missed opportunity). While in Europe and US you'll read about players competing and winning every weekend. Players you might consider beatable.
I have a lot of respect for those who try to compete in Korea, but I think no less of those who need a change of scenery.

As for the question stated in an earlier reply in this thread:
"Is Ret going back to Europe a surrender? Practice in Korea you would assume would be so much better..."

I think neither Ret (or idrA) have "surrendered". Knowing when to make tough decisions to further ones career and happiness is a skill that I find admirable.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

A bit sad but not at all suprised to see Ret move back. I think it's the right decision, but I also think Ret at his full potential could be one of the best candidates out of all foreigners to make a serious bid on the S-class GSL tourney. Would've wanted to see that.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

Wow, Nony actually is SUCH a baller. That´s awesome.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I imagine at this stage the rest of Liquid wont be far behind in leaving Korea. There doesn't seem to be much of a point battling it out in one big competition stacked with the best players in the world, when there are more and more competitions overseas with much less threatening opponents. Not as much money for one monthly tournament, and not as prestigous, but far, far more likely to win a NASL or MLG than a GSL.

This is a bad thing for the watchability of the GSL but a great thing for the western scene, so overall I'm not too disappointed. I still hope GOM can get enough players to fill the foreign seeds every month and some new blood stays on in code S eventually.

Im never leaving.


I'm glad to hear that! I remember you mentioning that you were taking Korean classes. Any noticeable improvement?
Don't mind me

God, if Tyler could actually go through his side of the bracket taking out every single GSL champion, I would jizz my pants.

My thoughts exactly. That would be the greatest event ever. Tyler Fighting.

Didn't Ret make any friends in oGs? Asking because he didn't mention missing anyone besides the liquid crew.

Since one of his chief complaints was the language barrier, I'm guessing not really. It's hard to truly connect with someone that you can't speak with.

I'm curious why the TL players in Korea seem to be sick frequently. Is the house unsanitary, or is it just from the overcrowding? No sleep? Did someone bring a bug in and it worked through everyone? They should try to correct whatever it is. It's a shame that Ret, after practicing for months and moving across the globe, felt like he just didn't get done on a single day in part because he was sick.
